Daniel, Aregbesola, Mimiko visit Olubadan designate, Oba Ladoja

A former Governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel, alongside former governors of Osun and Ondo states, Rauf Aregbesola and Olusegun Mimiko, are currently paying homage to the Olubadan designate, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, at his Bodija private residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Daniel, said the team was in Ibadan to congratulate Ladoja as the next Olubadan of Ibadanland.

He said, “Ladoja is a great politician, a great businessman, a shipowner, and a great governor. We were elected as governors then. The two of us (Ladoja and Daniel) had cooperative backgrounds among the five of us who were elected as governors in the South-West region.

“When they wanted to capitalise bank, Ladoja’s contribution was so meaningful that it led to Wema Bank becoming national bank,” he explained.

Also speaking, Mimiko, said, “We are here to congratulate Ladoja’s track record. His (Ladoja’s) track record made us proud. So, we are his fans, that’s why we came here.”

In his own contribution, Aregbesola, said, “We know Kabiyesi is now an old man, so no politics. We are just here to pay homage and tell him our readiness to attend the coronation.”

Responding, Olubadan designate, Oba Ladoja, urged them to always pray for him.

“You should all pray for me because I’m overwhelmed by the number of dignitaries who have been coming to pay homage across Nigeria,” he stated.
